Yoko Okino (沖野 ヨーコ Okino Youko), which is also the character's name in the Funimation dub, is a character in the manga and anime franchise, Detective Conan. Yoko is a pop-star that Kogoro Mouri is completely infatuated with. Kogoro has all of her appearances in movies and music on tape and DVD, and has even appeared on her cooking show. Yoko considers Mouri, Ran, and Conan Edogawa to be good friends, and often invites them to parties, including private parties, and dinners. However, this often leads to murder cases.
